What it is

Soft wheat flour is made from soft wheat varieties, which have a lower protein content than hard wheat. This makes the flour finer and more tender. It is commonly used in baking for cakes, pastries, and cookies.

Why it's used

Soft wheat flour is used as a primary ingredient in doughs, providing structure and texture to baked goods. Its low gluten content results in a tender crumb, making it ideal for products like pizza crusts, biscuits, and cakes.

Health notes

Soft wheat flour is a basic food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated wheat and its components, but no specific health concerns are typically associated with its consumption at normal dietary levels.
